in this paper, we consider a cooperative cognitive radio network in which there is an ofdm primary link and multiple single carrier secondary links.the primary link is required to maintain its secrecy rate above a predefined threshold. if the secrecy rate requirement is not satisfied, the secondary system help primary link to maintain its secrecy rate requirement. in doing so, the secondary trans...

Exploring the genetic diversity of microbes within the environment through metagenomic 5 sequencing first requires classifying these reads into taxonomic groups. Current methods compare these 6 sequencing data with existing biased and limited reference databases. Several recent evaluation studies 7 demonstrate that current methods either lack sufficient sensitivity for species-level assignments...

Relevance-based explanation is a scheme in which partial assignments to Bayesian belief network variables are explanations ( abduc­ tive conclusions). We allow variables to re­ main unassigned in explanations as long as they are irrelevant to the explanation, where irrelevance is defined in terms of statistical in­ dependence. When multiple-valued variables exist in the system, especially when ...

VHDL permits design descriptions with communicating multiple processes and provides signal assignments and wait statements to facilitate coordination and communication among the processes. These constructs lead to concise behavioral speciications but make controller generation in high level synthesis diicult. Current work on synthesis from VHDL restricts the behavioral subset, excluding or limi...

We combine deuterium labeling, density functional theory calculations, and experimental vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy into a form of "counterfactual-enabled molecular spectroscopy" for producing reliable vibrational mode assignments in situations where local group mode approximations are insufficient for spectral interpretation and vibrational mode assignments. We demonstrat...

Mobility-on-demand (MoD) systems consist of a fleet shared vehicles that can be hailed for one-way point-to-point trips. The total distance driven by the and size reduced employing ridesharing, i.e., assigning multiple passengers to one vehicle. However, finding optimal passenger-vehicle assignment in an MoD system is hard combinatorial problem. In this work, we demonstrate how VGA method, rece...

When a protein's function cannot be experimentally determined, it can often be inferred from sequence similarity. Should this process fail, analysis of the protein structure can provide functional clues or confirm tentative functional assignments inferred from the sequence. Many structure-based approaches exist (e.g. fold similarity, three-dimensional templates), but as no single method can be ...
